Ever since he left Epic Games, Cliff Bleszinski’s been letting his opinions fly fast and unfettered. At this week’s East Coast Game Conference, he talked about where the future of games might be heading.

During the 25-minute talk—spotted on GamersNexus—he offers up opinions on the folks who pirate games and the heavy-handed top-down approach protecting copyright on the internet. He also talked about what’s special about the Oculus Rift and the tension between AAA and indie games.
